Best Matches of 2017 (so far)

1 post in this topic

Two-thirds of 2017 is done. Wrestling fans have been spoiled this year with great matches. I've compiled all matches rated 4.75 or higher by WON's Dave Meltzer. 26 matches in all. To put it into perspective, 2016 had 16, 2015 had 10, 2014 had 13, 2013 had 9, 2012 had 5 and 2011 had 2. We still have 3 months to go.

Quoting Big Dave, "I feel bad for wrestling fans who don't realize just how great they have it (this year)."

It's absurd that most 4.75 matches won't even make it to 2017's top ten matches as we've already witnessed four 5 star matches and another four that broke the ratings system, all delivered by NJPW. They are having their best year ever in terms of match quality as they also own 13 out of 18 matches rated 4.75 stars. Call Meltzer biased, but the NJPW roster and booking never/rarely disappoints unlike WWE, GFW and AAA that constantly displeases and disrespects their audience.

NXT cracks it's second 4.75 match, first one was Zayn vs Neville 3 years ago. If you count NXT under WWE, they would tie their 1994 record with three 4.75/5 star matches delivered. WWE arguably has the best roster ever in terms of ring work, all they need is to book smart and develop characters that fans, both hardcore and casual, can invest in.

PWG is currently having it's premiere event (2/3 days done, September 1-3), Battle of Los Angeles, so expect to hear new MoTY contenders later this week.
